Men with a susceptibility to prostate cancer: implications of ethnicity in PCa risk-prediction and diagnosis
The diagnostic and therapeutic landscapes of prostate cancer (PCa) have advanced at great pace in the past decade. However, disparities in access to care, clinical outcomes and representation in therapeutic, interventional and genomic studies continue to exist between Afro-Caribbean (AC)...Keep patients at the heart of treatment decision

Long-term complications of bulking agents in the treatment of SUI
Incontinence poses a substantial economic burden on the UK’s NHS, estimated at £536 million in 1999/2000, equivalent to approximately 1.1% of the total NHS spend, for both men and women. Over two decades later, this cost is expected to have...
Cost effectiveness of prostate cancer screening in Europe
Prostate cancer (PCa) stands as the most prevalent cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men in Europe. According to data from the European Commission, in 2020, PCa represented a staggering 23.2% of all new cancer cases...Artificial intelligence

Increasing PSA after negative prostate biopsy - solving the clinical puzzle
There are standard guidelines for first transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) guided biopsy in a patient presenting with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or suspicious digital rectal examination (DRE) findings. Patients are generally warned before a TRUS biopsy in respect of a false...
Inguinal vs. scrotal orchidopexy
Undescended testes occur in 1-3% of newborns; the prevalence is even higher in premature babies. Traditionally the surgical approach has been inguinal orchidopexy, involving two incisions – inguinal and scrotal. In 1989, Bianchi and Squire proposed single scrotal incision orchidopexy...
To clamp or not to clamp – outcomes of the CLOCK trial for robotic partial nephrectomy
The benefits of partial over radical nephrectomy are well established. The CLOCK trial (CLamp vs. Off Clamp the Kidney during robotic partial nephrectomy) was designed as a multicentre, randomised controlled trial to generate evidence on the role of the off-clamp...
